It's been a while. It's been a whiiiillllleee. That's a long while. Maybe we should get started, so I can show you some of the stuff I've been wasting my time making. Please keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times.

First up is this book cover, just a design experiment, for Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis. If you haven't read it already, I strongly suggest you get a copy and do so ASAP - it's essential reading for anyone. So yah, I designed a little book cover. The outer sections are the flaps that flap back under the hardback cover.

I thought I'd get really deep and meaningful, and do something typographical. I failed, so created this witty graphic.

Then again, this one is one I'm quite proud of. Simple, but meaningful. So what's the meaning? Well, don't ask me. Det ved jeg ikke - I don't know! Art's all about the user's interpretation of the piece, anyways. So stop being lazy and work something out yourself!

A witty graphic, which is meant to represent a food. Can you guess what it is? See the bottom of this post for the answer :P

Now, what's this? Did you never know about Dimensionality? I could have sworn I told you one time... anyways, it's a blog I run (and post on from time to time where I basically rant on about my little theories on the nature of reality. Don't start reading unless you're prepared to understand it.

I've discovered a hidden passion of mine: typography. So I thought I might compare two fonts, in this case Rockwell and Lubelin, known as 'slab serif' fonts.

Well, that's really all I have to say ATM. Not much, sure, but I can't think of everything right now. Oh, BTW, I've decided to undertake a 365 challenge. No, not pictures: no one wants to see 365 pictures of my ugly mug, and it would really mess up my photostream, so no; I'm going to do a 365 blog. That's right: one blog post, per day, for 365 days. The posts should be a couple of paragraphs long, and I'm only allowed 5 get-outs. That means I can only say "whoops, I was busy on that day" 5 times. Any more and I've failed and I'm a disgrace and you can all slap me.

So that will start on 1st January 2010. One whole year of blogging... it's going to be challenging, I can say that for certain.

Please note this blog has sadly died (on 1/1/12). You can still read all the posts etc, but I have moved my work/links/portfolio to wndalton.com

My name is John. This is my blog.

On JOHNSPACE you can find posts on a plethora of topics, though design, art, typography and Denmark are the usual suspects. I also post movie reviews, chat about my spectacularly uninteresting life and show you guys the latest stuff I've created. Enjoy!

Last year I did a 365-day blogging project. Check out the Crap Filter for its best posts.

Find me on...

If you've been affected by any topics on this blog, then you get affected real easily. Try to toughen up, mate. The world's a grim place - buckle up and dry those tears of "he talked about design, boo hoo". Shit happens.
